Sobre IBD

The Reflections on Presence is a philosophical notebook which explores the complexities and concerns of contemporary conscience. They construct a program of ’spiritual exercises’, in the tradition of Marcus Aurelius, Ignatius Loyola and Nikos Kazantzakis, starting with the recognition of contemporary disillusion followed by the gradual investigation of the interconnected nature of reality and imagination, the affirmation of the individual presence and the ethics born out of such presence. They culminate in a vision of existential transparency that links poetry, philosophy and religion through the impure materiality of the everyday being.

  • An Enlarged Way of Thinking
    Vrasidas Karalis
    Throughout philosophical history, philosophers have employed the notion of ’tragedy’ in order to question the limits of their practice.

At other times tragedy is used more radically; to identify the tendency of philosophy to transgress the limits of the knowabl...

  • A History of Greek Cinema
    Vrasidas Karalis
    The history of Greek cinema is a rather obscure and unexamined affair. Greek cinema started slowly and then collapsed; for several years it struggled to reinvent itself, produced its first mature works, then collapsed completely and almost vanished. Because of such a complex historical trajectory no comprehensive survey of the development of Greek cinema has been written in Eng...
